14th Annual Picnic in the Park is This Sunday
Local Artist Watch, Chet Morrison
I’m not sure if I like this artist because his work was so strange, or because some guy took me to his gallery opening on our first date (by far my favorite date because he wasn’t so lame as to do the ordinary.)
Chet Morrison is a fantasy photographer and combines photos from the past with [...]
Lakewood’s Secret Garden Cafe
Garden Cafe sounds too good to be true for a place like Dallas, TX. But once you get there you’re not surprised that a place like this is hidden in the Lakewood area.
Enter through the back gate and make your way through the lovely garden. Basil, rosemary, some other herbs I don’t know the name [...]
Not Another Hallmark Card
Aw. A Hallmark card. A $5, 5-second sentimental value card that means nothing but a smile and spot on your dresser for 72-hours. Give a card with a little more value behind it (other than the sweet words you write inside.) Little Otsu works with independent artists and sells their print work through the likes [...]
Just Wine For Me, Thank You
When you’re done with Uptown, or never even tried to pretend, check out The Grape - a classy, humble joint on Greenville Ave.
Stop by after work or on the weekend and you’ll never feel over or under dressed. The place has been on Greenville for the last 35 years and framed articles cover the brick [...]
Somewhere Other Than Starbucks.
When Starbucks has taken enough of your money, and not even returned a little in free wi-fi, check out some of the local coffee shops in your area. What you will get is better coffee, prices, and a unique experience. Plus, you’re supporting local businesses.
Today, Nick and I checked out Opening Bell on South Lamar.

Free Beer on Saturday! | Rahr Brewery Tour & Tasting
No kidding. Every Saturday from 1:00-3:00pm the Rahr Brewery celebrates (really, it’s like a mini Oktoberfest) their brewery tour with style - music, drinking, and food.
And by free beer, Rahr means beers, plural. Try any three beers they have on tap that day and hang out with the good people of Fort Worth.
You don’t need [...]
Eat Like a Vegan
Yesterday a couple of us from the office went to eat at the Hari Krishna Temple.
There is a restaurant inside the Temple called Kalachandji’s, acclaimed by D Magazine and by our intern Macy. It’s strictly vegan (with dairy and non-dairy items) and the menu changes everyday for lunch and dinner.Check the website for today’s menu.
The [...]
